Well, its been a long year but today's the last day of school in my school district. I'm looking forward to a nice summer. So it's probably too late for you to use these in your classroom this year, but for all of the parents out their who want to keep their kids busy reading this summer I've created two new reading charts. You can have them color in a square for each book or each chapter they read, and then have a decided on award for them when they finish.
And here is something that I created last year. It's a summer reading wish list. It's a great way to have your kids plan out what they want to read over the summer.

I've been working on a set of make 10 hidden picture worksheets. In these worksheets all of the addition problems sums are 10. Kids find out what the hidden picture is by using different colors determined by which way 10 was made. So 6+4 is a different color than 7+3.
You can download a free worksheet below.
Hope everyone is having a great end of year.

The pre-primer ghosts vs. vampires is now up for sale. For those of you who liked the game I now have a primer, first grade and second version of the game. All of these versions will be available for free until Wednesday.
Here's a new sight word file folder game just in time for Halloween. Ghosts vs. Vampires. Ghosts and vampires fight to see who is the scariest monster.
Students play by taking turns drawing sight word cards. If they can read the word they get to put the card on their game board. There are also boo and bat cards that help to make the game more interesting. The sight words in this game are the ones from the Dolch pre-primer list. The game will be available for free until Monday. You can find more great sight words games on my teaching sight words page and at the websites shop. | |
Dolch second grade sight word worksheets are here. These worksheets are a little more challenging then the ones for first grade and kindergarten. Students can color and write the words but they can also practice spelling them by covering and spelling the word, picking the correct spelling, and hunting for the word in a string of letters.
The worksheets will be available free to download until Friday when they will go up for sale. You can also check out many other great ideas to teach sight words on my teaching sight words page, or at the websites shop. | |
